Myanmar search and rescue teams were pulling dead bodies from the sea off the country's southern coast on Thursday after a military plane crashed with more than 120 people on board.
The commander-in-chief's office said 10 corpses, including five children and four women, had been retrieved so far from the Andaman Sea near where the plane went down on Wednesday in the waters off Launglon, near the town of Dawei.
A local police source, who asked not to be named, put the tally closer to 20, telling AFP: "Dead bodies are still being brought to the shores nearby."
Missing Myanmar plane had 15 children on board Military officials say the missing transport plane feared lost in the Andaman Sea had 15 children among the passengers on board. The plane carrying 120 people disappeared a half-hour after leaving a coastal city heading for Yangon on Wednesday afternoon, and a navy ship participating in the search Thursday morning found life jackets, three bodies and a tire from a plane wheel. The Facebook page of the military commander in chief says the plane carried 14 crew members, 35 military personnel and 58 other adults. The 15 children are six boys and nine girls. It is not unusual for such flights to carry civilians to offset transportation costs for military families stationed in the somewhat remote south. |
